I
have found my Truth in creation, the creation of paintings and drawings.
What I am incapable of communicating in words I am able to express
through my work. A painting speaks with color, form, texture, line
and shape. Imagery goes beyond words - an image can communicate
something different to each viewer as they are allowed to feel and
interpret the imagery through their own experiences and understanding.
I create each piece by observing imagery in my own environment and
with imagery that is derived from my own consciousness. Each piece
is impressed with my experiences and understanding at that time
in my life. As a whole, it is a dialogue and communication with
myself, on who I am as a woman, and what my place is in this existence.
My artwork is my autobiography, but I hope that when viewed by others
it will communicate something to each person about themselves, and
that they can find their own truth in my work.

Jennifer
embodies that rare mixture of innate talent, disciplined education,
and unbridled passion from which greatness may ensue. Hers is the
restless marriage of an instinctive ability to capture multi-dimensional
images, honed and guided under determined and disciplined study,
and fed by a well-spring of passion, imagination, emotion, and pain.
A purist at heart, she refuses to confine a piece to the limits
of her own rational thought, but displays the courage to let the
opus take on its own form. Whether subconscious, or surreal, or
existential, or cosmic – her work contains that “something”
that differentiates the thin from the profound. Equal parts leading
and following, she creates in a dance of fury and restraint, abstract
and ordered. And in this way, her pieces are utterly approachable
and identifiable to the viewer, though imbued with the wonder of
something unknown yet familiar, something strange, and beautiful.
Unlike most poor souls, Jennifer has the distinct fortune of knowing
all this – knowing that she’s good at something, and
even more so, knowing that it’s the one thing she most loves
to do. And that she knows this, and has given herself over to it,
heart and soul, makes it our good fortune.”
